If you are making 1.5 bar on a -34 then either the wastegate is faulty and isn't opening properly or there is too much preload on the actuator. You should only have around 3mm of preload on the actuator. Adjust the actuator until it just slips onto the wastegate arm pin and then add two full turns and then refit to the wastegate arm pin. It should take a little bit of effort to stretch it on but not too much.

If still overboosts then the wastegate is likely to be at fault.
Thanks for the info again Guinnless, I'm going to give those a go as they're great points and easy to do. I might nitro a dump valve but I have my old actuator so might fit that and record the turbo boost levels then.
